Please join us for a discussion about biodynamic farming with two pioneers on Wed. April 15 at 12 pm PDT!

🍇 Virginie Joly of Coulee de Serrant witnessed her father convert the family property in the early 80s to biodynamic farming, way before biodynamic was part of the wine lexicon. After studying music, foreign languages, and alternative medicine, she returned to the estate in 2002 and has been a huge proponent of biodynamic farming ever since.

🍇 Deirdre Heekin has been making wine and cider in the Châteauguay Forest mountains and the Champlain Valley with her husband, Caleb Barber, since 2007. When she was buying wine for their restaurant, she noticed that all the wines she loved were from biodynamic producers, so she went to France to study biodynamics and brought many of the practices back to Vermont, where she makes celestial wines from hybrid grapes.

It’s an honor to have two of the most esteemed biodynamic producers join us for this discussion, demystifying the age old practices of biodynamic farming, its potential impacts on addressing climate change, and its influence on agriculture.

There is no charge to attend ahead of time, and you can register now via the link in our bio!
